Zacharius Hanmuth, his wife Anna, and son Johann (age 1) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 22 August 1766 aboard a galliot named Eva Maria under the command of Skipper Franz Christopher Schröder.
Zacharius Hanmuth, his wife Anna, and son Johann (age 1¼) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that son Johann died en route.
Zacharius Hohmut [sic], a farmer, and his wife settled in the Volga German colony of Nieder-Monjou on 3 August 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in household No. 60.
The Oranienbaum passenger list does not record from where Zacharius Hanmuth came. The 1767 census records that Zacharius Hohmut [sic] came from the German village of Niederssigheim.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
